crocheting a work basket like that an
aunt of mine had. It lasted very long
and was more substantial than even a
straw basket, aunt still uses it, or at least
she did about year ago when I
saw her and she had been using it for
about SIX years then. The basket is
first crocheted in pieces or in one piece
as may be liked, it is then saturated in
thick boiled starch, and if not thick
enough dried and the starch rubbed in
again. When the second starching is
perfectly dry, it can be vanished with
shellac varnish "a saturated solution of
shellac and alcohol) and then one has

Tree Roses.


"Can | train an ordinary rose into a
standard. care standards hardy =
(Which is the best variety p "Do they
bloom through the season" All of
which we propose to answer. But to
make ourselves fully understood, we
must first consider another question:
"What are standards" This name, as
used by florists does not refer to any par
ticular class or variety, but merely to
the mode ofpropagation and form Of the
plant.
To produce standards, the first re-
quisite is strong growing sort, one that
will makevigorous stems six to eight feet
high, and at the same time be both hardy
and long lived. The old Dog rose Rosa
Gamma Of Britain was formerly about the
only species used for this purpose, but
in the last few years other vigorous sorts
have been employed; the Rosa Manet-
tn, raised and introduced by Signor
Mannetti, of the Botanic Garden at Mi
Ian, is probably one ofthe very best, and
is now in comlnon use by all rose-grow-
erS.
There are two modes of procuring
stock for standard roses in Europe, the
country from which we are supplied.
The first is rather primitive, for gardeners
to 60 into the hedges and waste places,
and dig up the wild stocks of suitable
size, and transplant them into their gar
dens.. Stocks procured in this manner
seldom have many or very healthy roots,
but that such are extensively used, we !
have abundant evidence in the thou
sands Of club-rooted plants annually i'm
ported. The next and best way of OBJ
tanning suitable stocks is to raise them
from cuttings which, are properly grown,
will be large enough to use when two
years old, and sometimes the first sea-
son.
The stocks are set in rows, sufficient
distance apart to allow of working
among them, and in August or Septem-
Der they are budded, the buds being in
serted at a proper distance from the
ground, to form either standards, half
dWarfs, OF dwarfs. For the first, about
four feet is the usual height, and one to
two feet for the second, and at the sur
face of the soil for the latter.
The buds inserted into these stocks
may be taken from a June rose, Moss,
lea' acknowledgement, Or any variety
desired, and their distinctive character

Are They Wild Cats.

Considerable excitement has been caused
in the neighborhood of West Farmingdale,
it is said, by the appearance of family of
animals about four in number supposed to be
wild cats, that have taken possession of the
barn of Thomas Stevens, and seem disposed
to contest any attempt to be driven away.
They have caused sad havoc amongst his
hens, and even attacked the sheep, tearing
the W oo from the backs of them in such a
manner that Mr. Stevens has been obliged to
sew them up in some tough material
to save their backs from mutila-
ton. Mr.. Stevens has not seen
them. but his daughters have, one of them
having been attacked by the animal
pitchfork was used vigorously. but the animal
was not killed Efforts have been made to
catch them in traps but without success, al
though one was caught in steel trap but es-
capped after dragging the trap some distance.
One was meet in the barnyard, and hobbled
awav after being hit on the leg with stick
of wood One also ran out from under bed
in a room on the lower floor, and escaped
through an open window. The animals are
said to be somewhat larger than an ordinary
cat. and their presence causes considerable
uneasiness ic the neighborhood, as well as in
Mr.. Stevens family.
